Chapter 201 -202
201:
Ye Jiantong divided the breakfast with a few people who hadn't slept and had already gotten up, and then sat down next to Bai Chiwen and said, "Did you stay up late?" ”
The tone was unusual.
Bai Chiwen replied with a sleepwalking expression: "I haven't slept all night, I think the boss should give us a salary increase...... It's too oppressive. ”
Then put the spoon in your nose.
Lin Shu's face was black.
Did he forget that his boss was also sitting next to him and accompanied him to work all night?
Bai Chiwen's lack of sleep and IQ decreased, but Ye Jiantong was still awake, and he looked back at Lin Shu. Lin Shu pretended not to hear anything, and scooped a spoonful of preserved egg and lean porridge into his mouth.
Not...... It is fragrant and thick, salty and delicious, and it is highly recommended by foodies.
After eating this temporary meal, which I don't know if it was breakfast or dinner, Lin Shu also went back to the small bedroom next to his office and curled up and fell asleep. It can be seen how conscious he is as a programmer, and he has set up a rest place in his office early in the morning.
Sleeping hazy, Lin Shu felt that there seemed to be some obstacle next to him, and wanted to push it away, but he couldn't push it away, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Ju Mingfeng's smiling face in the faint golden sunlight leaking in through the gap in the curtains.
Lin Shu opened his eyes blankly, looked at Ju Mingfeng for a few seconds, and then suddenly buried his head in Ju Mingfeng's arms, and the whole person moved slightly to Ju Mingfeng's side, and then continued to fall asleep.
At that moment, Ju Mingfeng felt his heart flutter.
He couldn't restrain the sweet smile that overflowed, reached out to hug Lin Shu, who was asleep, and hugged him into his arms again.
When Lin Shu woke up, it was already afternoon. He changed his clothes and went downstairs, and found that the internal test had been carried out all morning, and there were many bugs detected, but nothing particularly important, and some people were solving them step by step.
Ju Mingfeng dragged him out to eat.
Lin Shu was not hungry all the time anyway, so he didn't refuse his offer. When he went out, he happened to miss a message about him that was circulating in the company.
Most of the technical department was busy all night, and he stayed up late to solve the problem. Although there are also the work achievements of Bai Chiwen and others, several people still attribute the main credit to Lin Shu. This attitude inevitably gives people the illusion that Lin Shu's ability is extraordinary, far surpassing Bai Chiwen and others.
So gradually, there was a rumor circulating in the company that Lin Shu was actually a genius in computer technology like the legendary hacker Mitnick.
This rumor is more and more exaggerated, because Lin Shu is younger than when Mitnik invaded the US air defense, and some of the technical content now is more complex and advanced than it was decades ago.
A few days later, Lin Shu also heard about these rumors, but he didn't care. In fact, Mitnik's ability to invade the US air defense decades ago is naturally very remarkable. However, the safety technology used by the US Air Defense back then is actually not worth mentioning now.
Some of the techniques he has mastered now are naturally ahead of the others. Even if you push back more than ten years, it is still the top level, but if you go past that era, slowly, these are the skills that ordinary technicians can learn.
From this point of view, the most amazing genius is actually only time. The so-called "genius" of ordinary people, in addition to the difference in learning ability, is more of a gap in the information they are exposed to.
After solving the problem of the wrong number of personality numbers, there were no major problems on the test. At this time, the arrangement of internal testing is roughly as follows: the testing department has recruited some testers, but all the personnel from the technical department and the planning department who have participated in the relevant projects have also joined the testing team, making adjustments while testing.
Lin Shu himself is one of them.
Ju Mingfeng has no interest in the complicated work of code farmers, but he is not averse to the work of testing games with a bit of fun, so he also happily joined the ranks of testers.
In the initial stage, the test of "Demon Domain" was mainly to test some basic functions and the AI in the game. After Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng had dinner, they returned to the company, found two free test computers, opened the program and started to try it.
The first thing to show is the icon of Xingze, and then the icon shatters and transforms into a bright galaxy, with several more conspicuous stars dotted among it as the server's icon.
There are four conspicuous stars, representing the initial four game worlds, of course, at this time, only one can be clicked, because Xingze only has one server open for the time being.
Lin Shu clicked "Demon Domain".
The planet quickly closes in, then turns into a vibrant animation that explodes on the screen. A young man in a white costume fell from the sky, a girl in a pink green tufty skirt took a bite of an apple, and then a notched apple fell from her hand, rolling all the way, through the busy stalls, the crowded shopping street, the girl parked at the door of the shop, and the teenager holding a basket of exquisite snacks and selling them...... Tumbling all the way to the feet of a woman in a long black and red dress, she picked it up.
The black nails are reflected on the red notched apple, and finally the title of a banner is pulled, and a loading screen - "Demon Domain".
The animation is very short, but it's beautifully crafted and full of fairy tales. In terms of character design, it maintains the style of the future platform - realistic, natural, and textured.
Especially the scene where Lori's dress floats,It's so vivid and vivid that it's amazing.,Just this sense of picture.,It's also a top hit in many popular games at present.。
After that, it's time to create a character.
After Ju Mingfeng stretched out his hand and clicked on the "male" option, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Lin Shu: "By the way, does this game have a marriage system?" ”
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment before replying, "Not for the time being." ”
When Ju Mingfeng heard the word temporary, he asked again: "What does it mean for the time being, is it that there will be in the future?" ”
Lin Shu felt a little guessed why he asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "Maybe there is or not." In general, it depends on the future development. Sometimes the more settings the better, each setting has to be fun for the player to have fun. ”
"At the moment, I think the use of the marriage system in online games is very limited."
Ju Mingfeng thought for a while, and then asked, "Then, if it comes out later, how do you plan to set it?" Is it set to be of the opposite sex to get married, or is it okay to be of the same sex? ”
Lin Shu said: "...... Eighty percent will not restrict gender. It may be difficult to pass the trial, but I will try my best. I don't have any reason to stand against myself, do I? ”
When Ju Mingfeng heard him say this, he was immediately relieved and began to continue to build characters.
Lin Shu glanced at his side face, and spit out the last sentence in his heart-...... And he didn't want to build a female number at all, and he didn't want to see Ju Mingfeng operating a puffy skirt Lori into his arms, and called him "Xianggong~~".
Don't doubt it, Ju Mingfeng can really do this. His discipline is no richer than that of the male gods (menstrual diseases) on the Internet.
After that, the two manipulate their respective characters into the game. "Demon Domain" itself is a game that is biased towards business cultivation and fantasy style in the four initial backgrounds, and the profession also follows this model, which is divided into life occupation and combat occupation.
It should be mentioned that the other three backgrounds are mainly based on combat professions, supplemented by life professions, but only "Demon Domain" is the opposite, with life professions as the main and combat professions as supplements.
Lin Shu's chosen profession in life is a chef, which is a profession that is quick to get started, simple to operate, and easy to make money in the early days in "Demon Domain"; The combat class is a mage, which is a powerful, costly, and strategic class.
Lin Shu didn't skip the operation guide, as long as he wanted to see if there was anything missing in the novice tutorial, but after reading it, I felt that the planning team had done a good job and was very meticulous in this point, and there was nothing that needed to be added.
After entering the game, he completed the basic guidance and tried to interact with an NPC first. "Demon Domain" integrates artificial intelligence and voice recognition technology, so when you click on the NPC during the conversation, a chat box similar to chat software will appear, and there is a small speaker on the right, players can choose voice input or text input through the guò chat box and speaker, and of course, you can also directly select the preset content on the left of the upper part of the screen to interact.
The preset dialogue options are random, and they are all pleasantries, including ordinary greetings, talking about the weather, city movements, the other person's recent situation, and so on. Players can learn about information through these conversations, get information about NPCs, and even have a certain chance to brush NPCs on specific topics.
Once you know what topics you can talk about, you can talk about them regularly. It doesn't matter if you don't randomly find a related topic, as long as you enter it manually, it will automatically trigger the topic. However, there is a cooldown time to increase the friendship of the same topic, and the friendship can only be brushed once within a certain period of time.
In contrast, other interactive options are less cumbersome.
Interactions such as doing quests and giving gifts are obviously more suitable for brushing NPC favorability than dialogue. There are thousands of NPCs in "Demon Domain", almost every one of them has daily quests, repetitive quests, story quests and favorite gift lists that can be used to brush favorability, and the specific increase in values is much more powerful than using dialogue brushes.
It's a pity that Lin Shu is still at the level of pitiful Baba in terms of life skills and combat skills, and he has no ability to be a character.
"Hey." He could only say hello to the other party and say, "Sir, I'm new here." Can you tell me how to get to Sweetheart Restaurant? ”
But the shopkeeper in the cowboy hat looked at the screen realistically before replying, "New here? It's been rare to see new people lately. Welcome to Mulan City. ”
He took off his hat and bowed to the screen.
"Give me your map, and I'll mark it for you." He said this, and then a blue dot appeared on Lin Shu's map representing the sweetheart restaurant, "Welcome to buy fruits and vegetables from my store in the future." ”
202:
Although it is only a few short sentences, the tone is natural and smooth, and the response is precise and clear, which is basically no different from a real person.
Lin Shu thought for a while, and then tried to speak again: "But sir...... I don't know much about maps. ”
When the uncle named Abor heard this, he replied, "I don't understand? Then you open the map first. ”
Lin Shu paused for a few seconds and didn't open it. Three seconds later, Abor urged, "Hey? Did you hear me? Open the map. ”
Lin Shu stretched out his hand and clicked on the map.
Then a pen appears on the map, pointing to the point the player is currently at - "See this arrow?" This is where you are at the moment. ”
The pen then pointed to the blue dot that represented the destination, "This is where the Sweetheart Restaurant is located." ”
"You go all the way down the road and turn left when you see the fountain. The Sweetheart Restaurant logo looks like this...... "A picture of the building of the Sweetheart Restaurant appears on the map," you can just go inside. ”
Really a very detailed guide.
After Lin Shu turned off the map, Aibol asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Lin Shu hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "No." Uncle, thank you, I'll bring you something delicious next time. ”
Abor scratched his head and said, "Don't call me uncle." Don't look at me like this, I'm still very young, call me Big Brother Abor. ”
It's really almost a real reaction. Lin Shu couldn't help but admire the plot setting and text writing of the planning team. He said goodbye to Abor and didn't take a few steps to find another NPC to interact with, and the characters reacted differently due to the personality setting during the interaction, but they were still vivid and flexible.
The AI intelligence of the online game version, through the various details of the table, seems to be better than the standalone version. The more vivid and detailed 3D table Xiàn also makes the characters more realistic and vivid.
Lin Shu felt that it could be done.
He tested a few NPCs and then didn't continue to test them - he wasn't in the testing department anyway, so he wasn't in charge of doing this kind of work.
Lin Shu followed the basic instructions, found the location of the main quest all the way, and then began to find the task object to deliver the task.
In the setting of Demon Domain, the player starts as a teenager who comes to Mulan City for the first time to make a living. They started out with a letter of introduction to deliver to one of the five novice shops in town. After delivering the letters, they will receive the ID card provided by Mulan City, a job, and a room to live in temporarily.
Next, players will have to work hard to earn money to gain a foothold in Mulan City. For example, Lin Shu chose a career as a chef at the beginning, and he would get a job at a sweetheart restaurant, where he would plant, buy, or go out of the city to hunt for various ingredients, and work in the restaurant to earn money.
Unlike the other three versions, Demon Domain is not combat-oriented, so you can go to the Mercenary Guild to hire various combat NPCs, hire them to go out of the city to hunt, collect various materials, or escort players to explore the maze. In terms of setting, the efficiency and harvest of the player's personal collection will be better.
But in addition to that, the player also has to work in the shop. All the daily tasks of the Demon Domain can be completed in the store pù, the store pù will regularly refresh the guests, complete the customer's order can get a certain amount of money, there is a daily task is to complete a certain amount of orders every day, and then you can get the salary of the day.
In addition to this, there are other daily routines, such as earning a certain number of S-level evaluations, such as earning a certain amount of money, and gaining experience points for life occupations.
And the process of part-time work is not very boring. The culinary profession has a complete process of making zuò, including chopping, cooking, and seasoning. Each guest who comes in has a different taste, and players can follow the recipe exactly as they complete the work, or they can adjust it themselves, and even add or remove ingredients. These behaviors may increase or decrease ratings, and players need to figure out how to master them.
If you are a tailor working in a clothing store, it becomes a matter of selecting and making zuò clothes for customers, who will have their preferred style and color preferences, which is also something that players need to pay attention to.
In addition to this, players can also develop and improve new recipes on their own. In the course of the game, players will slowly collect a variety of different ingredients, and the more ingredients they collect, the more combinations they can match, and the more products they can provide to customers during their part-time jobs.
Of course, up to this point, it's all about life skills that all four game backgrounds can do.
Then it needs to be mentioned that the game actions that can only be performed in the context of "Demon Domain" - opening a store, buying all kinds of real estate for production, hiring employees, and building homes.
A similar setting has appeared in single-player games for future platforms, but online games have improved and upgraded the design in this regard. This is the main system, but only in the version of "Demon Domain" does the corresponding resource setting of zài be saved.
In order to distinguish several versions, in addition to the plot and scene style, the planners also distinguished several versions in the game function design, each version has its own unique gameplay, and the business industry is the exclusive gameplay of the "Demon Domain" version.
Lin Shu himself doesn't particularly like to run development games, but he can also play them. In his opinion, the design of "Demon Domain" in this regard is still very interesting, but I don't know if it is actually interesting enough to play.
At present, there are very few online games that are mainly operated and cultivated in China, and this is also a quite bold attempt for Xingze. In order to enhance the interest in this regard, Lin Shu also deliberately set up a special interactive project, which is "banquet".
This "banquet" is not the kind of banquet that has almost no practical effect in traditional online games. In the banquet in "Demon Domain", after the player chooses the venue, he can use a variety of furniture and disposable props to decorate himself, every food and drink on the banquet must be prepared in advance, and various activities can also be arranged.
- This is also the reason why Lin Shu thinks that they no longer need to get married...... Because this kind of activity can be arranged by the players themselves.
However, the actual effect still needs to be evaluated by players after the official opening.
In the afternoon, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng have been playing games. After playing for a long time, Ju Mingfeng went around the wilderness and found that most of the monsters couldn't help fighting, so he wanted to explore the more dangerous area.
To be honest, the combat system of "Demon Domain" is actually no different from several other versions, but the monsters are set to be relatively weak, even if there are no mercenaries, it is easy for players to jump over the level and fight monsters. Bring mercenaries and take on the same level of dungeon boss without any pressure.
In terms of combat, Demon Realm is a game that is unsocial.
But it can cooperate to open stores, it can share houses, it can hire each other, it can date, and it can do all kinds of two-person competitions...... Non-combat social activities are simply not too much.
Ju Mingfeng would like to try these features...... Unfortunately, at the beginning of the test, he had no money.
Neither did Lin Shu.
He complained to Lin Shu: "Isn't there any cheating?" ”
Lin Shu replied: "Yes, yes, but I won't open it for you." Let's test it honestly. ”
…… Stingy. Ju Mingfeng sneered, and then continued to collect materials honestly.
The premise of "Demon Domain" is still very interesting. A few days later, the second version was also completed, which was "Xianyin" with the background of Xianxia. The selling points of this version of the game should be "fairy battles" and "flying away". In addition, the selling point of "Stars" with a sci-fi background should be "mecha starship battles" and "interstellar vehicles".
When actually installed, the full name of this online game is "Infinite Time and Space", and the installation package is divided into two parts, one is the system installation package, which is the main game content; The other is the World Data Pack, which has a separate number of jù packs for each background, which the player can optionally install.
In the system number jù of the subject, the number of AI personality jù occupies most of the content. This part has more than 30 g of content.
Lin Shu also joked: "Our game should be the largest online game in the number of jù packs at present, right?" ”
Ju Mingfeng opened his mouth and said: "Why don't you say that our game is definitely the most fun game in the world right now?" ”
Lin Shu thought for a while, considering whether to be modest. But after thinking about it, he found that he was the same as Ju Mingfeng, thinking that they were making the best game in the world at the moment, so he decided not to be hypocritical anymore and said: "Okay, the biggest number of jù packs, the best game." I still have this self-confidence. ”
After that, all versions were completed and almost the school year was almost at the beginning of the school year. When Lin Shu and the others went to the welfare home for the last time, they still made careful preparations.
Ye Qingdie followed Lin Shu to the Furniture City, bought a children's bookcase, and then went to the bookstore and selected a lot of books for children.
Lin Shu opened his mouth and said, "Storybooks are the main ones...... Buy some literacy cards and English cards. Add a set of "100,000 Whys". ”
Ye Qingdie swept through all the books in this area, and then saw a few stacks of red books, so he asked Lin Shu: "What about this?" Do you want to buy it? ”
Lin Shu glanced at it and made a decision in a second: "Take two copies of each." ”
In addition to these, Lin Shu also took some DVDs of preschool education. He didn't buy the building blocks because there was no shortage of them in the welfare home. But he bought some playdough and confetti at the stationery store – kids would love it.
After buying these, Ye Qingdie took a look at the small book and said, "Everything should be ready...... Anything else to buy? ”
Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "It's the last time...... Let's go buy a good hearing aid for your big friend. ”
